British Gas is offering customers the chance to snap up more savings on Wednesday with a new half-price electricity deal for those signed up for its PeakSave Green Flex events.
The 50% discount will apply between 2pm and 4pm, thanks to an increase in renewable energy supply driven by windy and sunny conditions. During the two-hour window, customers can make the most of the savings by using appliances such as washing machines, lawn mowers, or ovens. With PeakSave Green Flex events, customers get half-price electricity when it is very sunny or windy and more renewable energy is available. Customers have been emailed to opt in to take part.
This event comes in addition to British Gas’s usual half-price electricity deal on Sundays between 11am and 4pm.
Customers don’t have to change their normal routine, but the more they can move regular activities such as washing, cleaning, or cooking to the half-price window, the more they can save on energy bills.
British Gas uses its own forecasting to set the events to test the potential savings and impact on the grid with this scheme.
The discount is available to new and existing PeakSave customers, and all savings will appear as a credit on customers’ energy bills.

To take part in the half-price electricity session, you must be a British Gas customer with a smart electricity meter. Customers must also register for the PeakSave scheme.
